Then, still pressing the latch closed, turn the control knob to the ON position. To check the latch, close and latch the door, holding the latch tightly in place. The dishwasher will not operate until the latch is properly engaged.
Step 3: Make sure the door is tightly closed and latched. Replace the switch with a new one of the same type. If it doesn't light, the switch is faulty. If the tester bulb lights, the switch is functioning. Take off the switch cover plate and place one probe of the tester on one terminal and the other probe on the other terminal. Step 2: If the circuit is receiving power, and the wall outlet is controlled by a switch, the switch may be faulty. Shut off the water supply to the dishwasher at the shutoff in the basement or crawl space under the kitchen. Before doing any work on the dishwasher, make sure the unit is unplugged or the power to the unit is turned off, and remove the fuse or trip the circuit breaker that controls the circuit at the main entrance panel or at a separate panel. The water shutoff for the dishwasher is typically located below the adjoining sink.Ĭaution: Because the dishwasher is connected to both the plumbing system and the electrical system, you must consider both systems when working on this appliance.
Water cooler than this usually doesn't get the dishes clean, unless your dishwasher is a newer model that preheats incoming water. For best dishwashing results, set the temperature control of the water heater to no less than 140 degrees Farenheit. The dishwasher is not connected to the cold-water supply.
The water they use comes directly from the water heater, and wastewater is drained into the sink's drainpipe. Dishwashers usually run on 115-volt or 120-volt power.
